The phenomenon that behavior is modified by consequences, even if a person is unaware of the contingency.
A stimulus change following a behavior leading to said behavior occurring more often or strengthening the duration, latency, magnitude, or topography of said behavior in the future.
A process that occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of that and similar behaviors under similar conditions.
A process that occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the reduction or removal of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of that and similar behaviors under similar
When the contingency for behavior is that it prevents and/or delays the onset of an aversive stimulus. The avoidant response occurs without the presence of a signal/SD and can occur
